I Had Heard Blues And Jazz All

The Allusion Was That I Was Actually Naked. I Loved That. It Always, Kind Of Shocked People Enough That They Became Mine Immediately.

I'm Sorry That I Did Not Become The World's First Black Classic Pianist. I Think I Would Have Been Happier.

There Are All Kinds Of Things That Can Be Done. You Can Change Rhythms, You Can Change Chords, You Can Change Whole Concepts. But It Will Only Work, On A Record Or In A Performance, If You Can Make The People Buy It.

It Doesn't Matter To Me What Is Going On Today Because My Music Encompasses Every Kind Of Mood That Exists In Human Beings. That's My Stick.

Since I Was Three I've Been Playing The Piano. I've Been Onstage.
